Yummy! Added cheese to the top in the last 5 minutes and place under the broiler. Rave reviews, think that I might add some chopped green chillies next time for a little more kick. Thanks for a great vegetarian recipe!!

Nice flavours for such easy prep! I added a touch of grated cheese on top to give it something more and it was worth it~!

A terrific, easy and quick-to-make vegan meal. I cooked the lentils and rice in the same pot (add lentils when 8 minutes left in rice cooking time) and added garlic salt, onion powder and veggie bouillon to the water. Used a large jar of pasta sauce and skipped the tomato, added sliced green olives. I love the versatility of this dish - you can pretty well add anything you want to it. I think next time I will take one reviewers advice and top with french fried onions!

This was a very good recipe but I did feel that it needed tomatoes so I added some and added more tomato sauce. I also added some pepper flakes for a little spicy touch. It was really good.

After a weekend away I was looking for a recipe to use the lentils and rice that I had in the refrigerator. This was perfect! Obviously I modified the recipe using lentils and rice that had been precooked and that were left-overs from a previous meal. In addition I had left-over vegies from fajitas, and asparagus from an omelet, spaghetti sauce (homemade), and some crisp bacon. I sauteed onion, garlic, celery and carrots...added them to the lentils and rice with the chopped bacon. I seasoned them with hot sauce and dried red chili peppers since the fajita vegies weren't "Italian" seasoned. Mixed in the leftover vegies and put about 1 cup of spaghetti sauce ('gravy' in our family) on top. It was great! My husband said, "This is another one of those dishes that we can never duplicate....darn it!" Thanks for helping me clean out the refrigerator, and get dinner on the table without going to the store!!

I used brown rice instead of white rice and skipped the salt. The dish turned out a little dry, but after adding 1/2 cup of tomato basil marinara, it was delicious! Hearty, healthy... and even my meat-eating boyfriend approved!

It was good, but it was a little bit dry. I would add more tomato sauce more.

This was REALLY good. I made it exactly as written except I didn't have any celery so I used a little extra zucchini and a couple of freshly sliced mushrooms. Thank you for a great recipe - it will be in my regular rotation now.

Yum! I had to alter this recipe based on what I had on hand (green lentils, brown rice and for veggies: carrots, parsnips, tomatoes, zucchini, broccoli and mushrooms- not a veg, I know), however my boyfriend and I both really liked it. I will be making this again!
